Jermaine Wouldn't Object To Trade

Jeremaine O'Neal said he's not bothered that his name has been mentioned in trade rumors since the offseason, including ones involving the Nets, Lakers, and Celtics.

Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird said they aren't talking trade anymore, but O'Neal, who is making $19.7 million this season, has no problems with being moved.

"If that situation presents itself, then that's what it is," O'Neal said. "I told those guys this summer that if you feel like you need a situation that you can better this team, I'm all for it because they've given me the opportunity to really achieve some of the things that I wanted to achieve and also establish my name. It would be no hard feelings whatsoever."

Re: Jermaine Wouldn't Object To Trade

I don't see a problem with the quote either. He's not saying he wants to be traded. He's saying that he thanks the franchise for what they've done for him and if they feel they need to move him, then do what they feel is best for the franchise.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that quote.

True, it's nothing new. On the other hand, wouldn't we prefer that
he said basically, "screw a trade, I'm not going anywhere. I have one
singular mission and that is doing all I can to get the Indiana Pacers
back to the NBA Finals" !

I know I would.

But that would be honest and ludicris. This team is not going to win a championship with JO on this team.

Kinda hard to generate that when the TPTB make moves that lack that same kind of commitment...
